This enables it to act as a thermal energy storage medium, where excess thermal energy can be captured and released when needed to balance energy supply and demand. Concrete's thermal mass also contributes to energy efficiency in buildings by providing thermal inertia, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce heating and cooling loads.
In recent years there has been a depletion of natural resources, consumption of fossil fuels and a dire need for conserving energy. Thermal storage concrete is a new type of concrete that is likely to store and conserve energy and thereby serving towards a greener environment.
The present numerical studies on simulating concrete Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems represent a critical dimension of research, offering insights into the complex dynamics of energy storage. By employing advanced modelling techniques, researchers aim to simulate and optimise the performance of concrete TES systems under varying conditions.
The present study aims to propose an innovative building-integrated solar thermal storage method using insulated concrete form (ICF) foundation walls for residential buildings in cold climates such as that of Canada.
When conducting an economic feasibility and cost analysis of thermal energy storage (TES) in concrete, various aspects need to be considered. One of the primary factors is the assessment of initial investment costs.
